Introducing the Cisco ISE BYOD Process Organizations that have accepted a Bringyourown device or BYOD policy have observed improved user experiences and productivity, as well as simplified operations and reduced risk. However, many organizations are still reluctant to implement BYOD out of security concerns. The problem is that BYOD introduces previously unmanaged devices into the network, and their access to internal resources must be controlled. This is where a Cisco Identity Services engine, or Ice can be used to create different policy levels. Not all guests to the network should…

How can the risk professional avoid being seen as obstructive? Risk management depends on the goals and objectives of the business. The risk professional should take care not to consider a risk only from the perspective of a department or process without also considering the risk to other departments, partners, or general business objectives. Because risk management serves the organisation as a whole, executives will often choose a path that seems to offer the best perspective for value creation and can do so despite the resistance of those involved in…

Phase D, Technology Architecture, Step 1 In this section, we’re going to talk about Phase D, which is the technology architecture steps. On screen is an overview of the technology architecture phase. It is the T in the dot acronym. And the goal is to create baseline and target technology architectures for version 10 while identifying any gaps between the baseline and target. In this lesson, we’re going to talk about step one in more detail. So step one says to select reference models, viewpoints, and tools. So the first…

Phase C, Data Architecture, Step 1 So now we’re getting into phase C, which is the information systems architecture steps. I’m going to break it up into data and application in separate sections here. We don’t need to COVID information systems as a single entity because the steps of information systems architecture are the data and application steps separately. Anyway, the phase information system doesn’t have its own steps. So, just to refresh your memory, space C is the third phase of the cycle and the fourth phase of the…

Phase C, Application Architecture, Step 1 We are now into the second half of phase C, which is the application architecture. A reminder that the application architecture, which falls into phase C along with the data architecture, is the A in the B acronym. This is where you develop the baseline application architecture, develop the target application architecture, and identify the gaps between the baseline and target. All right, similar to data and business phases, step one is, as always, to select reference models. So go to the architecture repository…

Phase B, Business Architecture, Step 1A Hi there. We’re into Phase B, which is the business architecture steps. To remind you, phase B is the second phase of the architecture development cycle. The whole purpose of phase B is to develop the baseline and target business architectures and then identify the gaps between those target and baseline business architectures. Step one of phase B is to select reference models, viewpoints, and tools. This means you’ll have to search your architecture repository for business architecture reference models and patterns that are…

Phase A, Architecture Vision, Step 3 (Updated) All right, on to step three of the architectural vision. Step three says to confirm business goals, business drivers, and constraints. So, you know, you want to identify at the business level: what are the goals of the business going forward in years one, three, five, and ten? Where does the business want to go? What about the growth areas? Where does it see a doubling of growth? Where does it see business being slowed down? You need to understand how the business…

Searching in Splunk In this module, we will learn how to search in Splunk. We’ll be seeing some of the basic operations as part of everyday searching in Splunk. Now we have our on boarded data, our Splunk installation set up, and we have created some basic knowledge objects. Now we will see how to search efficiently using Splunk. This is our searcher. We know what indexes are indexes. So I’ll go to index. Main and just hit enter for the last 30 days. We have relatively little data, so…

Props Report and Transforms Now we understand how to extract fields and make them available to all users so that we can place them under props.com, which is using our extract command. Now let us see how we can do the same using a report. The syntax is “report iPhone.” This is what I’ll call it; you can call it whatever you want. Let’s say I say “report IP is equal to”; this will be your function name, which will be defined in the transforms configuration file. Let’s say IP…

Uploading Data to Splunk We will be seeing more about post-installation, that is, the configuration steps that are carried out in Splunk. Throughout this module, we will use three Splunk components hosted in our Amazon AWS Data Index search at our Universal Forwarder, which is part of our local installation and will simulate the real-time experience of sending logs from our local PC to our cloud instance where they are hosted, searched, and indexed. We will see some of the most common and important steps taken by Splunk, an administrator,…
